Protecting Your Email with Gafana

by Tiara Rea

On a scale from 1-10, how much do you hate spam? If you’re like me, and 10 is the highest our scale goes, I give spam about an 11 on my hate list. It’s annoying, I don’t want it, I don’t even read it, and the worst part is, I can’t rid of it…or can I?

This is the idea behind Gafana, a company focused on getting rid of your unwanted emails and assuring you never receive them again. That means only friends, family, business associates, and verified users will end up in your inbox. No hassle, no worry, no fear – and best of all, no spam, ever!

What is Gafana?

Gafana is a company that cares about their customers, simply put. They created and integrated leading-edge technology to combat spam, protect you from viruses, and execute email backup and recovery.

Why do I need spam blocking?

Spam sucks. And no matter what we do to combat it, our inboxes always seem to fill up with unwanted, unsolicited, and even vulgar emails. Gafana blocks 100% of the emails you hate without changing your existing email addresses or losing the emails you need to receive.

Why Gafana?

They deliver 100% spam blocking. With other solutions, you might have to sacrifice the emails you need to get rid of the ones you don’t, but with Gafana nothing changes except you are no longer bombarded by spam and your inbox is safe again.

How does Gafana work?

Gafana’s setup takes literally minutes, and after you’ve set a list of people you want to receive emails from all the time, you can go about your business. When someone not on your list attempts to email you, they are sent an auto-reply that forces them to verify they are a human being. If no verification is received, you will never receive their spam.

What if I forget to add someone to my Safe List?

As long as the person sending you an email can take a moment to verify their email, you will always receive future emails from them.

How do I get started?

After signing up with Lunarpages, just login to your account via account.lunarpages.com, and visit the link under our Free Software offer. A member of Gafana’s team of client specialists will be in touch shortly thereafter to assist you with setting up their spam solutions.

What types of email accounts are supported through Gafana?

Besides the most popular free email providers like Hotmail, Yahoo, and AOL, Gafana also supports any POP3 email addresses for nearly every ISP (for dial-up, DSL, or Cable). That means it is 100% compatible with your Lunarpages email accounts.

Will this slow down my email?

Nope, never! Plus, Gafana checks for new emails every 30 seconds, making it run actually faster than most other email solutions.

Do I need any special software? Can I use any PC or Mac?

No, and yes! ;) No special software is required and any computer that has access to email accounts can run Gafana’s spam solutions.

Can I still use webmail?

Yep! In fact, Gafana’s webmail feature is an advanced version of every webmail service you’ve ever used before. From their account management area, you can add new email accounts, see Sent, Deleted, and Archived emails, and even managed Blocked and Verified contacts.

You also have access to advanced features like email signatures, a calendar and schedule system, phone and text notifications, birthday reminders, spellchecker, email notifications, and upgrade options.

    100% sounds so fake but I haven’t got a single spam message since I integrated this. Very, very nice.

    This is exactly the kind of spam blocking that AOL uses (or did use). It is very effective, but not really great for businesses, as many contacts would be lost as people would not be willing to go the extra verification step. If I were visiting a business page for the first time, I would not take this extra step.

    I use LunarPages IMAP email accounts. Does Gafana support IMAP? Thanks, Chris

    Christopher – I believe they do, yes, but I’m not sure if it’s included with this plan. Might want to shoot them an email. They are an extremely helpful group of people so getting an aswer should be a breeze.

    John – I think Gafana’s method is becoming more widespread and people are getting used to it. If a business owner were really worried, they could always include a note on their contact forms that says “you will be prompted to verify your email”, etc. I personally have never minded clicking on a verification link if I needed to contact someone.

    I just noticed this message here and felt I should leave a response. Everything Tiara said is completely true. The reason is because Gafana is not a typical challenge/reponse.

    John, just as you said, challenge/responses are very effective but not good for business. We learned this a few years back and we set out to figure out a way to take advantage of this methods effectiveness while still making it simple and useable for the average home user or even business user.

    Gafana now utilizes challege/respones as *one of many* methods to block spam. When an email is received, it is sent through a series of tests to analyze the emails potential validity – based on this, a score is given. Based on the score, you can determine what to do with the emails. You have full control over how every step of the process works.

    Our default settings work *very well* and not only will you no longer receive spam at all (this really is true), you will *STILL* receive valid emails from friends, family, and business customers/clients that may have never contacted you before (and they WILL NOT have to go through the verification process).

    Gafana should not be called a challenge/response anti-spam solution – Gafana utilizes that method as one of many tried-and-true methods along with several in-house developed methods which have proven themselves time and time again. Every day we are taking customers away from Postini and Barracuda networks because we outperform both of them on performance, features, and price.
